I just bought a 2003 Stingray 240LR. I got it for just under $20,000. It is in excellent condition and looks almost new. Owner took great care of it and stored it under a covered lift. It has 118 hours on the meter. The motor is the Mercruiser 5.0 MPI 260 HP. It has full canvas covers, camper top, new VHF radio.<br />Anyone have/ever had one? I think I got a great deal. This is actually the first boat I have ever owned. My parents had a boat when I was growing up so I do have some experience with boats.<br />Any advice or suggestions about this boat will be greatly appreciated.

That's a pretty big boat for someone who hasn't had one. Go slow and be careful around the docks until you get used to it.

Granted I have not operated a boat in about 10 years, my parents always had a boat and I ran it all the time. I hope it comes back to me naturally but I will be taking it easy for quite awhile. I had no problems docking it when we took it for a test ride and it was pretty windy.
